American Samoa is a bad situation for the locals and should be changed. By default, they are born US "nationals" and have to apply for US citizenship (unless their parents already have it). Which is a hassle that doesn't need to exist.
Automatic US citizenship should be granted just like in Guam.

More context about the Mariana Islands
1: they were part of Spain but after the Spanish American war Spain sold them to Germany. Germany lost them to Japan after WW1 who in turn lost them to the US after WW2.
2: after WW2 they werenāt formally annexed for some time before they were a trust territory of the US under the UN. They actually voted to join Guam but Guam rejected it.
3: In the early 70s the Islands officially held a referendum where they could seek independence or commonwealth status, like what Puerto Rico is, and they chose the later. The referendum established a formal political union with the US and was approved UN.
And so, they are the least controversial part of the countryās territory. Also if thereās any doubt about whether or not the US rigged the electionā¦ there were three other island chains that were owned by Japan that the US administered after the war. All 3 picked independence. The Mariana Islands were the exception.

America also owns a military/prison compound called Guantanamo bay, on the island of Cuba. Not a territory or a common wealth, but it was also acquired after the spanish American war. Cuba was granted independence but part of the agreement was America would keep Guantanamo bay. Legally speaking Cuba canāt demand the territory back because they never owned it in the first place, so America just keeps it

Funny part about the Virgin Islands is that while you drive on the left you are still driving a car where the driver is also on the left. Kinda scary driving up and over St John where you see the edge of the road and a steep drop off out your drivers side window.
